    <p>Setting up the debugger requires two steps:</p>

    <div class="orderedlist">
      <ol type="1">
        <li>
          <p><a class="link" href="ch02s01.html" title="General Preferences">Define the Perl
          interpreter to use.</a></p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>Install the PadWalker Perl module.</p>
        </li>
      </ol>
    </div>

    <div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
      <h3 class="title">Note</h3>

      <p>It is possible to use the debugger without installing PadWalker, but in this case local
      variables won't be shown.</p>

      <p>Download the PadWalker module from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.cpan.org/" target=
      "_top">CPAN</a> (<a class="ulink" href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Erobin/PadWalker-0.10/"
      target="_top">PadWalker 1.5</a>) and install as described in the installation notes or use
      the installation manager provided with your Perl installation (e.g. PPM for ActiveState
      installations).</p>

      <p>Earlier versions of EPIC provided a custom-compiled version of PadWalker for ActiveState
      5.8.x. This is no longer necessary; you should simply use the most recent version of
      PadWalker distributed by ActiveState.</p>
